Picea pungens "Early Gold" Early Gold Colorado Spruce

Genus - Picea , Species - pungens "Early Gold"

This tree really shines in spring. Its new growth is bright yellow. It is a slow grower that likes light but not sun. If placed in full sun it will burn. It is worth the trouble as it just glows with color. Once the new growth hardens off it tuns into a green Christmas-type tree. Size in 10 years is about 7 feet by 4 feet. Zone 2 to 8.
